479 would like to emphasize that it was the recommendation of the Ch t f of Police and his office that the program be endorsed in concept and principle . Chief of Police indicated that he particularly liked the system because of the prevention aspect . Where this particular machine , or a similar one , is used , a decal will be displayed in the window or at the cash register , warning that the procedure will take place , and there had already been some documentation that Redwood City was being bypassed by fraud artists , even though the program has not begun as yet . Councilman Leipzig ex pressed the belief that this would be good for not only preventing crime , but would also enable the honest citizen to more readily have his check accepted . Councilman Henderson indicated that in discussion prior to the meeting with the GAP students , there had been concern expressed that this might be some form of governmental control , and that she had pointed out this did not relate to government except from the standpoint that the Police are called in after commission of a fraud where someone has taken advantage of a merchant . Merchants have been accommodating with regard to cashing checks , but if the problem became any more serious , it might reach the point where customers would be required to deal directly with their own banks . It was pointed out that no effort would be made to keep data or information under this process , but would only be actuated in case of check - cashing abuse or fraud . Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6709 SUPPORTING CHECK IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM, seconded by Councilman Leipzig and carried on roll call vote , REPORT OF BID OPENING , Municipal Marina Launching Ramp Pier . City Manager advised that subsequent to going through the entire procedure including preparation of plans and specifications and the bidding process , it was realized that , even though this was a small installation and was replacement for a similar pier destroyed by backwash , approval by Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) was required , but had not been applied for . He indicated that undoubtedly this approval would be a routine matter that could probably be given administratively by their staff , but efforts to contact BCDC that day had been unsuccessful . He suggested that Council award the contract but that approval from BCDC be required before commencing the project . Councilman Henderson asked whether the contract could be awarded contingent upon approval of BCDC . City Attorney responded that the bidder did not bid on those conditions , and pointed out there could be a possibility a permit could not be obtained , in which case City could not perform the contract . He also felt that making a conditional award would amount to rewriting the bid specifications without contacting the apparent low bidder . After brief additional discussion , Councilman Henderson moved that the matter be carried over to the next week ' s agenda (May 1 , 1972 ) in order for Staff to obtain the necessary BCDC approval , 4-24-72
